Youth Policy

Children ages 0-6 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Children ages 7 to 12 may use the facility unsupervised, but there must be an adult on the premise at all times.

SwedishAmerican Riverfront YMCA Youth Check-in Policy

Youth ages 7-17 must check-in at the Youth Hub in the Riverview Lobby - Monday through Friday from 2-8 p.m.

Upon check-in, youth will sign a character development policy and be given a wristband that they must wear while in the facility.

Wristband colors will change daily and at random.

Each weeknight at 5:45 p.m., we will gather all youth for a quick orientation on Court 2 in the Activity Center. This will be a great way for youth to connect in the facility and learn about the evening’s activities. We will also cover rules and guidelines in the facility.

Any youth checking in outside of the 2-8 p.m. timeframe will receive their wristband and sign the character development policy at the regular membership desk.

If a youth is found without a wristband, he/she will be required to go to the Youth Hub to check-in and sign the character development policy before they are allowed to participate in Y activities.

Membership ID Policy

All members ages 10 and older will be issued a YMCA ID card.

All members ages 10 and older are required to show their YMCA ID card to access facilities. This includes members of the same family.

Children ages 9 and younger will be check-in manually at the Member Experience Center.

If a YMCA ID card is lost/stolen, there is a $5 replacement fee.

Safety & Security

At the SwedishAmerican Riverfront YMCA, the Northeast Family YMCA and the Puri Family YMCA, we monitor our building with a 24/7 surveillance security system.

In addition to our surveillance system, we ask that all members report suspicious activity to a YMCA staff person immediately.

Meet a Few of Our Members

Emily & Hannah

Y Member Story

Hannah’s career is focused on helping women who suffer from eating disorders. Back in 2011, she had a rude awakening as a parent brought her daughter to Hannah’s employer for services. Hannah shares, “The mom took one look at me – standing at 5’4”, 309 pounds – and said, ‘you’re going to help my daughter overcome her eating disorder?' I wanted to lose weight because I was a walking billboard for my problem. I set out on a journey that started with the Y and today I’m proud of what I have achieved.” Hannah has lost 150 pounds and is now supporting her sister Emily on her health journey.

Jamie Welden

Y Volunteer Story

12 years ago, Jamie was in a tragic car accident that left her practically immobilized. After starting her recovery at the YMCA, she began to discover the beauty behind the community the Y had to offer. She is now a consistent volunteer at the SwedishAmerican Riverfront YMCA and a living testament to the notion that when you work hard to achieve a goal, nothing can stop you.
